The JW Religion is Based On Logical Fallacies

    I don't usually post many topics that deal with theology, so I think I'll try one this time.

    Why I say that the JW religion is based on logical fallacies:

    You have a religion that claims to be sent by god and who has the closest thing to the "truth" of his word the bible and how they have love amongst themselves, therefore being the most godly.

    That in itself is a fallacy. The fallacy of begging the question to be exact. Who says that god even chose the Bible as his word? Is it because it's factual and accurate? This is the same book that makes outrageous claims of donkies talking to men. Also, who says they either have the closest thing to the truth or that they have love amongst themselves?

    Is it really loving to excommunicate somebody for not giving a child a needed medical procedure? Is it really loving to excommunicate a youth who probably isn't mature enough to take a legal oath, much less a religious one when they disobey an extrabiblical law on smoking?

    Right now, I'm feeling kinda tired and I don't want to expand on the logical fallacies of the religion.

    One time I did a bulleted list of cult traits and then listed direct quotes from the WT that proved they fulfilled that cult trait.

    You can view it here:

    WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE is a list of the top 10-15 logical fallacies, and under each fallacy - two or three quotes lifted from the Society's publications that fulfill each fallacy.

    It is something I have wanted to do for awhile but just have not had the time.
